New York Pressure Cooker Bomb

A lawyer for an Afghan-born US citizen charged with bombings in New York and New Jersey over the weekend asked a federal judge to schedule his first court appearance today, possibly in his hospital bed.

New York City police investigating a bombing in Manhattan over the weekend said on Monday they wanted to question two men who appeared to stumble over a second device made from a pressure cooker that had been left inside a bag lying on a city street.

A former employee of a New York computer company was questioned after his workplace computer search history revealed inquires for "pressure cooker bombs" and "backpacks," but no criminality was determined, the Suffolk County Police Department said in a statement Thursday.
